Fathers have unique access to their children's hearts. Their tender love and intentional leadership can build confidence and instill character like nothing else. On the other hand, harsh words and emotional distance can devastate even the most resilient kids.

Men...husbands...fathers, the most immediate and potentially impactful way you can love your children is by loving their mother well. They watch, they listen, and they feel the way you love her.

They hear how you speak about her when she's not around. They learn how you respect her by observing directly - even when you don't think they're watching. They see how you love her when she's hurting, after you've had an argument, and when you laugh together.

Husbands, love your bride with everything you've got. Give yourself up for her, sacrifice your agenda if it means serving her more selflessly.

It's not an easy job, but it's how God calls you to love your wife; and he's called YOU to the task. YOU.

Paul writes, "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish." (Ephesians 5:25-27). You are called to give yourself up for her just as Christ gave himself for you; with grace, patience, love, joy, and so much more.

Love her fiercely always,
Ryan
